  1. I think it went Coleman, SOMEONE ,Alo, Jennings last year, but I could be wrong.
  2. Two of the players who were supposed to provide power this year have disappointed, one relatively, one completely. Jennings hit ~ 30 homers last year and has 5 this year. She is still clutch and has a > 400 average overall, but the power isn't there. Sanders also hit about 30 homers last year, and she been just plain bad. I think more strikeouts than hits, and only 220 overall. She's sitting a lot. That said, OU still leads the nation in team batting average (390) on base % (480), slugging (715), and runs per game (9). But last year they were scoring 10 a game. Jayda Coleman is putting together a player of the year case with a 500 batting average, 640 on base, 8 HR, 12/12 stolen bases, and outstanding defense.
  3. Back in the day, middle school was well known to be more dangerous than high school because most of the REALLY dangerous kids had been dismissed or left before high school.
  4. Very informed. Some added context: Offense note 2021 --> 2022 OU's offensive in fancy stats took a big step back from top 5 to top 20 - 25. Points per game fell "only" 7 because OU had so many more drives per game. Offense, running game: Lebby will feel more comfortable running Gabriel, who's an asset running the ball. The threat of the QB run game will mitigate the loss of Brayden Willis, who was a true asset as a blocker. The RB position will be as good as last year running the ball. The OL showed surprising proficiency run blocking vs a good Florida St front 7. Offense, passing game: Gabriel is himself. Above average deep ball, avoids the middle of the field. It's unusal to see big jump in QB this late in his career. RB have to get better in pass protection, and we don't know if they can catch. WR needs at least one more transfer and/or one of the newcomers over the last couple of years to pop (5 new last year + 3 this year). OL was a disaster in pass pro vs FSU. Rouse will improve that, but it's a safe assumption that OU's OL pass protection will be worse with the loss of Anton Harrison (bigger loss than Mims?). Defense note 2021 --> 2022 OU's defense gave up 4 ppg more last year but efficiency stayed about the same because they faced so many more drives. This is despite OU losing many of their best defensive players from the 2021 team (entire DL, best LB, best DB). Defense, running game: OU's DL was pushed around last year. Portal adds Lacy and Sears may at least hold point of attack better. Venable's LBs have a history of superlative play that wasn't shown last year. Improvement here will be expected. Safety play should also be better. Defense, passing game: OU couldn't rush the QB. That SHOULD change with several options at DE/Edge added in recruiting/portal (top high school Edge, McCullough, Bothroyd, Ford). LBs in zone seemed to develop a sense of playing receivers rather than areas of grass as the season progressed. DB play gradually improved as the year went on. At least there were few flat out busts in the latter half of the year. DB recruiting class was outstanding.
  5. Both were OU targets. The Sooners got Andrel Anthony from Michigan, who's a great get, but probably need to get at least one more WR from the portal.
  6. I appreciate @Sawbonz measured take and @Spankytoes situation. Because of the high community prevalence of the infection, the proper way to think of decision to get the vaccine is: __ get vaccine __ get infection without vaccine Rates of cardiac/vascular disease from infection withOUT vaccine are FAR higher than from the vaccine for the general population. This has been shown repeatedly. The rates of myocarditis from the vaccine are higher in adolescent and young men but are still less than rates of cardiac disease after infection. Of course there are other benefits from getting the vaccine. Yes, I'm an expert in this field who's oh so tired of talking about this. Ok no more from me about this.
  7. I've read your posts on here, and I'm sad for your situation. But your conclusions about your own situation require some context. PM me please.
  8. Yeah, we're on the same page. John Birch Society begat Goldwater. Long game.
  9. 1981 was when Reagan took office. The revanchist impulses of the Republican party were just taking off. This is a long game.
  10. McCarthy's tedious speaking style is enough to vote him out.
  11. Not that I doubt her response, but did you do this personally?
  12. OU should "push hard" for a permanent WR coach first. They've got L'Damain Washington stuck with the interim tag still. Mims seems like a really good guy overall. Will be missed on several fronts.
  13. The mgoblog guys have long loved Anthony's upside. He had limited opportunity due to Michigan's many WR options and may have bad hands. But he's got good size, excellent speed, and good route running. OU offered already also.
